How to review an app? - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

Sorry, but I must be missing something here, but I cannot find any place in the honeycomb market app to write a review. I am looking at my installed apps, and I can't find it anywhere.
Edit : on another note, not all my apps are showing up in the my apps section of the market. I am rooted, and have tried the market doctor in titanium, and can't seem to fix it.

I can't figure this out either! I asked on twitter and the reply I got was "carefully" lol

You're not missing anything. It's not available via the market app on any tablets at this time. You will have to do it via your desktop browser, your phone, or as a workaround, set the default browser on the tablet, to 'desktop' mode.

Can't filter for honeycomb apps... Can't rate honeycomb apps from your tablet....
It almost seems like Google is actively trying to make the marketplace suck for tablet users. Either that or they are trying to obscure the generally crappy offerings for honeycomb that are available.

Thanks for the replies. It's pretty ridiculous you can't do this. I was hoping that I would be able to write a longer review like you can on the website. On my phone a review has to be very short, like text message length.

Need help with downloading app from android market!

Hi. I can download all apps from the market exept two apps from same developer! When i search the name of apps, it says that it cant find it. I have also tried appbarin, slideme..etc. but still i cant find those two apps! The apps are visible from the web on my computer when I go to some of sites for apps that also allows downloading from mobile but they are not visible on phone. The apps are free "AndAR Model Viewer" and "AndAR". So if someone can download them for me and send me to [email protected] that would be great!
Thanks
The dev may have taken them down.
I was reading on some forum that the apps are not visible to users with VGA cameras or users without camera on their phones/tablets. I think thats the problem. Can anyone check if the apps are on market?
Thanks
They're available on my market.

I knew it :]
Thanks for confirming it.
Could you download them and send to me on the mail above if it isn't too much trouble?
Thanks.

(Q) Any ideas on market restrictions?

I was wondering if anyone knew what the cause of the apps that don't appear in the market even w/ improved market fix.
I have been trying to see if I can find the common denominator with these apps and I am coming up empty. Trying to create a running thread and identify some apps that don't so I can email the dev to see if there are restrictions present that we can't see. A couple I have noticed that I use daily are.

Google has not officially certified the gtab for its use on the Android Market.
romanrish,
I know the feeling. I used to be able to see Launcherpro and even purchased it for my GTablet. Now with the new market (and all the fixes) I can't see it and have no way to tell when it gets an update other than going to the developers web site. BAH!
@Butch I am fully aware that Google has not certified the Gtablet for the market. This is more of a technical discussion. There are checks that are performed to identify what you should see in the market.
One of which is obviously looking at your build fingerprint. Since this action doesn't appear to have any consequences like changing you device ID probably would. I am trying to figure if there is a way to intercept these checks to display a different device w/out editing the build.prop which may cause instability or worse.
Any ideas?

FYI: I have the new market and had to do the "Market Fix" (stop Market service, stop Google Framework, clear data on Framework) several times before I could "see" Launcher Pro and ADW...
It eventually worked and I was able to install both via the Market -- and now they show up fine inc. updates...
What I can't see (yet) is the EA Games that were on sale for 99cents...I am only able to see two -- FIFA (bought) and Tetris -- but I'm guessing it is something to do with the rest of the games not being supported on tablets. (I think NFS Shift even states not supported on Samsung Galaxy Tab)
I just tried the build prop from my droid2 for shiggles. It is kinda ballsy, but root explorer backs up your old build prop so I figured what the heck and gave it a shot. It seems that everything is here I haven't found any side effects. This is working great. Any app I was looking for is there now. This is the build fingerprint I used

Market fix?

[Q] Market - details page cannot be found

Transformer just arrived. All set up and using my existing Google Account.
However, if i click on any paid apps in the market it states 'Sorry, details page for the requested item could not be found' ....
Its let me sync all my other apps, including paid ones, and it recognised my ID ...
what am i missing ??
There are a couple of other threads open on this, it seems that from yesterday some users are starting to experience the same market issues. I have the same problem and it started this morning, i don't think its a problem with your account or set up. I have emailed Google apps, awaiting their reply or a fix from other users.
If I were a betting person I'd say we're not far off an update of the market that will add a proper tablet specific section, just like itunes has for iphone/ipad apps, as any time an app is reported a few times that it's crashing/FC'ing in honeycomb, it seems to get blocked for tablet installations. So maybe it has something to do with a google reshuffle of the way apps are viewed.

You could be right but it is not affecting incompatible apps, it is any paid app, i have installed a few from your thread prior to this issue and now cannot install new ones you have added as compatible e.g. backup pro.

Yeah but I'd assume paid apps were on different servers, as they would have more encrypted data, so possibly one section could be affected while the other remains untouched during an upgrade.

Mmm... possibly, will have to wait and see, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Just started getting this today too :-(
I was getting this quite a bit last night, but it wasn't only for paid apps. Some free ones had the problem as well. My workaround for a paid app that I hadn't yet purchased was to buy it on my computer and it was automatically sent to my device.
I got it only once today, don't remember which app. But it has worked fine generally.
I got this message on a few different apps last night. I was able to get around it by either hitting the back button instead of OK in the popup. Or by going to the market through the browser and pushing the app to my device. The market app for HC is really lacking at this point. You can't even review apps. Hopefully they will update soon.

I'm getting this too.
Temporary solution is to download any app from market.android.com and have it manually download from your browser to your tablet.
I can't install from the market web app - get a notice that I "have not opened the market recently on this device" (which I have - I'm in it now..)

[APP] Tablet Market

Hey Guys,
Couldn't found this posted around the TF forum. I've found an interesting and usefull ap out there on the Market. It's called Tablet Market and it collects all the apps available for tablets and links them to the Andoroid Market for installing.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.andromo.dev86.app119
The app doesn't seem to have alot of tablet apps though. Unless I am doing something wrong or the app has never been updated there seems to only be 100 apps on it. No categories to help search is also a drawback.
I will continue to use www.tablified.com
Although the website does have some server issues I just added tablified.com as a newsfeed to Pulse (RSS app) and everyday when I go to check my news on pulse I get the newly added apps in one of my feeds.

I was having some issues moving from a virtual server to a dedicated server thats the reason the site was having problems. hopefully thats been address and it should be smooth sailing for now
Uhm. You do kow that Android Market will hide all incompatible apps by default?

There's a difference between compatible apps and tablified (tablet specific) apps. Most people want the latter.
Sent from my Transformer
I am one who prefers the latter. I hate it when I have my dock connected and I get an app that is only in profile, or one that has to start in profile.
+1 for Tablified. Anxious to see how big this could potentially get.

Ayman you should make a tablified app. Your website is great and it only makes sense to have a complimentary app on the market.

Missing Market Apps

Hi all, I have read a lot about missing apps in the market, but it seams to me that there is an unusually high number missing from my rooted Kindle....
Could someone please confirm if the following apps are also missing from their market?
Be Weather
Weather Bug
Go Launcher EX
Dolphin Browser HD
Weight Watchers Mobile (the official app)
I see themes for a lot of these, but not the main apps.
Also, I tried the fix.apk file that I have used on my phone, but it didn't get me what I was hoping for. Thanks
Don't have a fire yet, but can confirm from a few other places that these were removed from the Amazon marketplace for the Fire. You can still sideload them though. Seems this was done a few days ago once everyone started posting that this was a way to get rid of the carousel.
I noticed that, too. There's obviously some sort of filtering going on.

Not on mine either. Perhaps since the Fire isn't one the "compatible" list they are not even available to download.

Thanks everyone sounds like the market is also very limited.

i have go launcher ex and dolphin hd running right now. I did sideload them, i just did it when i was sideloading all the google apps and such. You might do some apk searches on the web. Otherwise it may take a couple weeks for them to be available for the fire (widgetlocker has already updated for the fire, for example).
The Android Market does not contain all of the available apps. It only contains apps that are compatible for your device. So if you have a Kindle Fire it will only show you apps they are compatible with the KFire. That does not mean that you cannot sideload those apps from the Internet.
But, not all sideloaded apps work though.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
When I first got my Kindle, I was able to download Go Launcher Ex from the App Store, then when I had a friend get it, it was gone. Ended up sideloading it, but yes, there appears to be a filter.
It really would be quite awesome if there was a way to override this filtering in the android market for those that are rooted. I would love to take my chances.
Google Voice App Receives, but no way to send texts
I read through all FOUR pages of the Kindle Fire forum but did not see anything about this.
I have successfully installed (side loaded) Google Market and Maps on a rooted Fire. I also installed Google Voice (all apk's from my EVO).
GV runs and displays incoming texts, but there is no way to write or send a text. When you click on a text conversation, it opens but there is no text box to write in.
Clicking menu does not give a "compose" option.
Since GV sends texts over the Internet, I am puzzled why this does not work.
I downloaded another texting app and that one does work, but it gives you yet another "phone" number, which just confuses my contacts (they dont know who is texting them).
Anyone got GV working?
